COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available bottled.
Golden Ale named after the former naval shore battery overlooking Bathside Bay. Heavily hopped to give satisfying bitterness levels, the floral and grapefruit aroma are dues to the oodles of Cascade hops added at the end of the boil

GBBF. Cask. Clear gold beer, residual white head. Light dry palate. Low carbonation. Light pale malt with a touch of smoke. Very dry woody finish. Interesting!

DanielBrown (2721) - Birmingham (via Leicester), West Midlands, ENGLAND - SEP 1, 2011
On tap at GBBF ’11. Yellow, big head. Tastes like a smoked beer. Ian says this is rubber. He’s probably right. Not tremendously palatable. Oooh.

harrisoni (10070) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 3, 2011
Cask gravity at Gbbf 2011. Clear gold thick cream head. Some yeast some hop on aroma. Some rubber too. Not good. Despite the big head the conditipn is poor. The rubber is undrinkable. Pretty much horriblesome hop on finish but in a third pint i couldnt drink more than a few millilitres
